[1] The flag of the Pomeranian Voivodeship is a yellow rectangle, with an aspect ratio of height to width of 5:8, with a left-faced black griffin placed in the centre.
The griffin is standing on two feet with lifted wings, his red tonged out, and double black tail.
The Heraldic Commission criticized the design, pointing out that the usage of the griffin together with a black eagle with an arm holding a sword, a historical symbol of Royal Prussia, was more appropriate to represent the region.
However, both flag and the coat of arms were approved by the Pomeranian Regional Assembly inspire of that, and officially adopted on 25 March 2002, with the resolution no.
